My cat, however, shook and shivered under the blue velvet chair. Amazing that all of her could fit under it. She suddenly lost all fear of the fans once the thunder rolled through... then she was scarce.

rofl rofl
Kearen is a riot
how did she fit her fat fluffy tushie under the blue velvet chair

just received email from Kathleen, in DC suburbs
her storm was so fierce, they just got their power back now

''Murder, She Wrote'' is my favorite show
I thought it was filmed in Maine
I was in Maine once, and it is glorious
that clear northern light, no wonder painters love it
Love, Palo

Everyone once in their lives should spend a summer in Maine....and then have Grannie do their laundry on their way home ;-)

[palo verde]

rofl we each took our own cart
I did everything lickety split
he was still choosing over watermelons
I didn't want to sit and wait
so I emptied my stuff into his cart
and scooted to dress store

[grannie9]

Ditto to my post to Palo...

[palo verde]

today in pool I wanted cute summer dresses
I said ''my bathing suit is stretched out, take me to Old Pueblo Traders so I can get new one
I promise I will only be 14 minutes''
he said ok
when we arrived he said ''you have 10 minutes, 15 max
it doesn't take long to find a bathing suit
if they don't have one,
we'll go somewhere else''
I headed right to dress dept
luckily I had to pass bathingsuits, so I grabbed one so my story would be convincing
then I chose two dresses and two nighties in unbelievable short amount of time
they had fabulous sale on shoes, I was looking at shoes
when I realized my time was up
he came in to get me while I was paying
I said to saleslady ''I haven't been here long''
she said ''you just arrived''
he was mad cause he left lights on in car by mistake
Love, Palo

I also love the Murder She Wrote series...altho its no longer being produced, still the reruns are always on AandE channel, and I always enjoy seeing them....

Here is a funny little story tying that program in with my moms Alzheimers....

My mom is/was a great Agatha Christie fan, as am I...anyone who reads Agatha Christie realizes what a prolific mystery write she was, turning out one book/mystery a year....I believe she wrote about 65 books/mysteries, and also wrote several short stories, which were also mysteries...

And as any Agatha Christie fan knows, there were a few mysteries which had more minor detectives, or sleuths, but most of the mysteries usually had one of the two most famous of the Agatha Christie sleuths, the first being the Belgium detective, Hercule Poiror, who has been played in many movies, but the likes of Tony Randall, Albert Finney, Peter Ustinov, and David Suchet plays him in the TV series....

The other famous snoop in the Agatha Christie Mysteries was Miss Jane Marple, an elderly spinster woman, who was a snoop, and had a good nose for rooting out the villian....

Jane Marple was my moms favorite, altho she also enjoyed Hercule Poirot...Now Jane Marple was played by various actresses in film....Margaret Rutherford was one, and Joan Hickson plays her in the TV series....but Angela Lansbury also played Miss Marple in at least one Agatha Christie movie...

Now, when Murder She Wrote first came on air, of course it was Angela Lansbury playing the mystery writer, and all round snoop, Jessica Fletcher....at this time, my mom was in the early to mid-state Alzheimers...and when she saw Angela Lansbury playing a sleuth, she totally ignored the fact that she was playing Jessica Fletcher, as mom had it ingrained, that the character was Miss Marple, from her beloved Agatha Christie mysteries...

No amount of discussion could convince, in her mental state, that Murder She Wrote was about Jessica Fletcher, not Miss Marple...mom remembered Angela Lansbury playing Miss Marple and that was that as far as she was concerned...so we just let it go...

But then it got worse...mom inadvertently changed the name from Miss Marple, to Miss Marble...whenever it was the day and time to watch Murder She Wrote, mom started asking "Is it time for Miss Marble?"...That used to drive my aunt Helen wild....mom had the wrong character, and now she even had that wrong characters name wrong....poor mom, so muddled, yet so happy watching her Murder She Wrote, with Miss Marble...

To this day, whenever I watch Murder She Wrote in reruns on AandE, I still call her 'Miss Marble'....Alzheimers can be such a devastating disease, yet it can provide for some dear chuckles and smiles...'Miss Marble', was a product of my moms demented mind, yet it is very dear to me...

I sure can yak on and on...

[habs4ever]

You sneak!! You have the angles down pat!! LOL

[andysandmikesmom]

Palo, you are a whiz...one bath suite, two dresses, and two nighties, and a glance at the shoes...you did good...

When BigDom and I come to visit, we will leave the men alone to chat and drink, and I will take you out for a day of shopping and fun...I will not rush you, you can shop to your hearts content...We will eat out, and shop, and have fun...

[palo verde]

whenever it was the day and time to watch Murder She Wrote, mom started asking ''Is it time for Miss Marble?''

o andysmom I can't help it, it is so delicious
if your mom were here I'd kiss her toes

thank you for making me laugh out loud
smoooch
Love, Palo

Palos shopping trip today, reminds me of those TV programs, where people get a certain amount of minutes to fill up their carts, say at the grocery store, or a K-Mart, and you see them driving their carts down the aisles like crazy people, grabbing everything in sight...

I could just see Palo, with her time allotted by Bill, rushing down the aisle of the clothes store, grabbing those things which catch her fancy....

[habs4ever]

yak yak yak....

dollie, dollie, dollie....

[palo verde]

rofl andysmom it was like that
I was speed demon in Old Pueblo Traders
when I got in car I said ''I only took 20 minutes''
he said ''I gave you ten''
I said ''O I forgot''
